title: [Combined treatment of generalized acute peritonitis].
abstract: The results of examination and treatment of 166 patients were studied. The patients were divided into 3 groups: in the 1st (80 patients) acute generalized peritonitis was treated according to the conventional surgical canons, in the 2nd (54 patients) interchangeable plasmapheresis was added to the conventional treatment, in the 3d (32 patients) the whole complex of treatment was used--the routine method together with extracorporeal detoxication and staged sanatations of the abdominal cavity. Including plasmapheresis and staged sanatations in complex of treatment of acute generalized peritonitis intensifies the effect of treatment. The intervals between the staged sanatations and sessions of plasmapheresis depend on the stage and course of peritonitis. In the conventional method of treatment of acute generalized peritonitis according to the authors' observations the mortality rate made up 39%, when plasmapheresis was included it lowered to 30%, and when combined treatment was used mortality rate dropped to 22%. The data of this study demonstrates the potential and efficacy of combined treatment of acute generalized peritonitis with the use of interchangeable plasmapheresis and staged sanatations of the abdominal cavity.
